A Cold War Techno-Thriller of Soviet Sleeper Agents, Mind-Control Devices, and Espionage

Nicholas Foley, a respected psychology professor at MIT, harbors a dangerous secret: he is a sleeper agent planted by Soviet intelligence decades earlier. Living a quiet academic life in Boston, Foley invents a pocket-sized sonic device capable of inducing instant, subconscious obedience in human targets.

Realizing the terrifying geopolitical potential of his invention, Foley refuses to turn the mind-control device over to either the KGB or the CIA. Hunted by both American intelligence agents and Soviet assassin teams, Foley uses his sonic device to outsmart operatives in a high-stakes game of survival.

Why You’ll Love This Book
